    Pete, I can't believe your luck, or lack there of. I'm glad there was no damage. Not sure what brand of tire you are using, but $650 with A road call sounds about right. I hope you can go just 1 week without something breaking on you.

    I'm confused on why my new tire did this. My psi on tires are 110.. 650 was just tire. Last 2 weeks been decent lol

    Impact quoted you $650? I run Michilens.and I think my steers were $460-480 and drives around $425.

    The rollover I was in (student driving) in January, before coming over here obviously, same thing. My tires were well over 50% and at 110. We were on dry pavement, no one else around, and nothing in the road. Out of nowhere, passenger steer blew, student panicked and hit the brakes, and we went for a roller-coaster ride.

    Did you hit a curb or kept hitting the sidewall. Look like sidewall damage. How hard do you drive it?
    Unless that's the inside then it had to hit something

    Yeah, we both walked away, but he is still dealing with medical stuff from it. I'm not surpised, he had 80k lbs land on top of him. We went off the road, through the ditch, back up a big embankment, then went airborne for about 15-20 feet before landing flat on the drivers side. I wasn't hurt, but he has some knee, shoulder, and neck issues on his left side. I think he is taking a desk job at their office though, not sure his body would take the abuse of trucking too long after that.

    TA always takes forever to get someone to you, maybe they will be there soon and get you back up and rolling
